Descripción
Ciao! We are a family of three and we live in the countryside!
We live in the north of Italy, near reggio emilia (30 min from parma and 50 from bologna).
I am a primary school teacher and my boys are 12 and 15. We want our workaways to be part of the family and enjoy the cultural exchange just like us.
We have one hedhehog, chickens and a dog.
We need to plant some small trees and empty an old shed that needs to be put down. Easy but heavy work. We also need someone with experience in wood cutting using a chainsaw. We are cleaning our woodland and need logs for the winter. The trees are already dead on the ground. We don’t cut live trees!
Experience in carpentry would also be ideal. If you are a couple, I also need help in the house (Floors and dishwashing after meals.)
Meals always with us.
You will have your own bedroom, possibly my car, village nearby and forests to walk.
Wood stove and solar panels.

It was our first Workaway experience with Jenni, Gabriele, Tommi, Vico and Dolly! We spent lovely week and a half with them.
Even though the weather was pretty harsh on us, we managed to help them out with cleaning up the area around the house and lot of woodwork.

We were having a lot of walks, talks and activities together and I learned a lot of things for two weeks: how to make my own soap, how to cook amazing vegetarian dishes, a lot about Italian culture, a lot… read more

Jenni trusted us from the moment we arrived by letting us use her house, even in her absence.
The project of building a chicken coop was a real challenge for us.
Jenni provided us with all the materials for the construction.
The main work is done and her children will be able to finish it.

Hosting these two smart girls at home with us for two weeks was fun! Although very young, they were ALWAYS very helpful and kind, both with me and the children.. I think they are very mature for their age. We miss them already!
I wish them all the best and I hope they’ll come back soon! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Saffron has been a sweet friend more than a workawayer: very friendly, kind, polite and always helpful. My kids loved her. It was a pleasure to have her here living with us. She is an intelligent strong girl and we wish her all the best for her future. She will be always welcome at our place, whenever she wants to come back.
Highly recommended.
